SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK, COURT OF DIVORCE—(This day,) (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) CODRINGTON V. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON. The hearing of this extraordinary case was resumed this morning. Mr Inderwick commenced by reading the evidence of certain witnesses taken at Malta by commission. That of Dr stated that he had attended Mrs Codrington professionally in July, 1862. He had heard Mrs Codrington speak angrily of Mrs Watson, because she believed that Mrs Watson wished respindent's children to he placed under her care for educAtion, to which she strenuously ob jected. Mrs Codrington did not say that Mrs. Watson was too intimate with the admiral, but she said she had ex pressed her surprise that she had acquired a great ascen dancy over him. He heard that the admiral had removed Mrs Codrington from his bedroom. Col. Ander son was a frequent visitor at the Admiral's house, He knew it, and there was no secrecy made of it. The evidence of Captain Strickland, of the Royal Navy, was next read. It was to the effect that he had frequently complained of being left alone. He had been in the Ad miral's boat, and had considered it a very crank one. On one occasion the Admiral asked him if he had any children, and he said he had two. The Admiral replied, "That is quite enough; follow nay example and have no more, and take such measures or precautions to prevent having any more." There was a courteous and intimate acquaintance existing between Colonel Anderson and the Admiral. The evidence of Francisco Perugio stated he had been in the service of Admiral Codrington for five years. His mas ter and mistress occupied separate bedrooms. His mistress, he knew, complained very much of George Durk being found in the nursery. He knew Durk did not like his mistress because she had complained of him to the Admiral from his conduct towards the Maltese girl Teresa. The evidence of Shabot, a guide, said he accompanied Mrs Codrington and party to the Hospice St. Bernard. Ho was certain she never committed adultery during the time that he was with them, as ho was constantly in waiting on her. He was certain she always conducted herself as a virtuous lady. The evidence of another guide, Joseph Alexis Previst, was of a similar nature. Miss Emily Faithfull was then examined by Mr Hawkins —I resided in Grosvenor-street West, and was the then manager of the Victoria Press. I have known Mrs Cod rington for the last 10 years. I knew her at Malta, during the time I was staying there mith my sister. I afterwards visited the Admiral and Mrs Codrington con tinua'ly. More or less I was visiting constantly until the year 1857, at the Admiral's request. Before July, 1857, I had been staying at Eecleston-square and at Walmer with Vie Codringtons. I was in Eccleston -square in the autumn of 1856, I occupied a room in the house. The Admiral and Mrs Codrington did not always sleep together. I cannot recollect whether the ad miral absented himself previous to that time. He was away absent on official duties. Mrs Codrington and myself met the admiral on his return from the Black Sea. We then all returned to Eecleston-square. I then slept in the bath-room with Mrs Codrington. The admiral occupied the adjoining room. There was a door communicating with the two rooms. During the whole of the month of October I can not recollect a single occasion that Mrs Codrington slept in the admiral's room, The door, at the time lam speaking of, was never fastened. My attention more than once has been called to a circumstance that occurred in October, 1856. I first spoke to Mr. Pugh about it in August, 1858, during the time I was in the habit of sleeping with Mrs Codring ton. The admiral appeared to me a very fidgety man. He used to look that all the fires were out all over the house. He did not except upon one occasion come into the room I and Mrs Codrington occupied during the fortnight I am now referring to—that is, before I went down to Wales. There were three or four in the room. I awoke suddenly and saw the Admiral leaving the room, It was so sudden that I could not see whether he had on his dressing gown or not. I think on that occasion he had not. I got up and shut the door, and complained to Mrs Codrington about the matter. lam positive I complained about that particularly. I can not say how long I had been in bed when I saw the Admi ral leaving the room. I cannot tell whether it was 12 or 1, or later than that in the morning. I was suddenly awoke, but I cannot say by what. I saw the Admiral at the door. I don't think he had his dressing gown. I cannot Bay whether he had any apparel on at all. I saw a white figure, but lam sure it was the Admiral, because there was no one else in the house. lie invariably looked tothe fires throughout the house. I had never before the occasion I have referred to complained of the admiral coming ball my room. I have, however, before awoke and found the admiral in our room, and complained to Mrs Codtingtm about it, but not to the admiral personally, I never got out of bed until October, 1856. I was rather a'armed on the occasion of which lam speaking at seeing the white figure. lam sure he had not his dressing-gown on on this occasion. I never saw him without it before. I should say on that occasi n he had nothing on but his night shirt, but I cannot say for certain. I have related this circumstance I believe previously, as I told it to Mr Pugh. I gave him an account as from my own recollection. Mr Pugh was told of the circumstance in the summer of 1858. I saw him at his office. I did not go there to speak of the particular matter, but to speak of the differences between the admiral and his wife generally. This circumstance was spoken of incidentally, amongst others. I never said, in the interview with Mr Pugh, that Admiral Codrington got into my bed and treated me as though I had been his wife. I think he asked of me if Admiral Codring ton had treated or attempted to treat me as his wife, and I replied "Yes." I don't recollect that in November, 1863, Mr Pugh came to ask me about the occurrence. I don't recollect having any conversation about the matter before the close of the year 1863. I cannot say I told him of the matter, but I might have told him about it, Up to May, 1863, I believed the occurrence to have taken place. Mr Hawkins—Did you not tell Mr Pugh that Admiral Codrington had connection with you ? Witness—Certainly not. Mr Hawkins—What did you say ? Witness—l said that Admiral Codrington had attempted to get into my bed, but on my awaking ho left the room. Mr Hawkins—ln May, 1861, did you, yourself, call at Mr Pugh's ? Witness—Yes, on the 10th. Mr Hawkins—Were you aware that the object was the putting this occurrence on the record? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—Upon that occasion did ho ask you to give him the details ? Witness--Yes. Mr Hawkins—And then, in answer to that, did you tell Mr Pugh that although the Admiral made the attempt you awoke in time to resist ? Witness—l may have said so, but I don't recollect that I used the word resistance. Mr Hawkins—Well, did you to prevent completion ? ' Witness—Yes ; it might be so. Mr Hawkins—Will you swear that the word " resist ' or " resistance " was not used? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—On the 12th of May, did Mr Pugh call upon you at the Victoria Press? _ Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—Did he tell you that the matter that took place was about to be placed on record ? Witness—l said that Mrs Codrington told me so. Mr Hawkins—Mr Pugh handed you a paper ? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—Did you read it ? W itness—l cannot say. I was so confused. Mr Hawkins—Did he say that was the affidavit he was about to make ? Witness—l cannot say. He was in a great hurry. Dlr tiawkins—Did Mr Pugh say he was going to Malta ? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—And that he was about to make the affi davit before be left ? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—And that he was anxious to read it to you ? Witness—Yes; but he did not do so. Mr Hawkins—Did you not say you were anxious to read it yourself ? Witness Yee. Mr Hawkins—Wore you not told that the matter which took place in October was referred to ? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—Were you not asked for the date of the day ? Witness—Yes. I could not tell. Mr Hawkins—Did he make a pencil mark to that effect? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—Did you say it was correct ? Witness—No. Mr Hawkins—Well, the part of it. Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—What part ? Witness—l cannot say. Mr Hawkins—Did you read the fourth paragraph•—were not some of those words added at your own suggestion ? Witness—No. Mr Hawkins—Pray look at them before you say " No." Witness—l have done so—certainly not. Mr Hawkins— Did you hand the paper back as correct ? Witness—Mrs Codrington took the paper from me, and gave it to Mr Pugh. As far as I recollect, I made no reference to the contents of the document. Mrs Codrington told me she had told Mr Pugh she was asleep all the time, and that I could not say anything to the contrary. I replied, if I spoke about the matter at all I must tell all the truth. Mr Hawkins—Did Mr Pugh ask you whether the affida vit was true? Witness—l cannot recollect. Mr Hawkins—Did not Mr Pugh ask you for the date of the occurrence ? Witness—l told him I could not give it him. I did not say one word when I returned the document. Mr Hawkins—Did you say it was cprrect Witness-1 don't remember. Mr Hawkins—Try. W itness—l cannot, F Mr Hawkins—Will you swear you do not? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—Will you swear you did rot say yes? Witness—l will. I was asked about the matter after Mrs Codrington had told Mr Pugh. Mr Hawkins—Did you not write to Mr Pugh for a copy of the legal document he• had read to you? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—Did you get it ? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—Where is it ? IVitness-111 y solicitor has it. The packet containing it was marked "private" at my request. Mr Hawkins—l suppcse the envelope was addressed per sonally to you ? Witness—Yes. Mr Hawkins—Was there Any note accompanying it ? Wituesz—No. ' Mr Hawkins—Did you read the paper you received ? Witness-1 sent it to my solicitor. [Extrac's from the document forwarded to witness was then read, in which it:was stated that the Admiral was only prevented accomplishing his purpose by the resistanc e of the said Miss Faithfull on waking up.] Mr Hawkins—Did you leave England to avoid being served with a subi eoaa ? Witness—l did. Examined by Mr Bovill—l don't recollect anything pre viously about the date. The letter now put into my hand is mine. It was written by Mrs Cudringten'i request. Mi• Bovill—Read it. Mr Hawkins—Before that is done I claim to read it. The letter was then submitted to the learned gentleman, and afterwards handed to the learned judge, who gave it to the witness to read and refresh her memory. Examination by Mr Bovill continued—l have done so. I fiad the letter is dated Nov. 7, 1856. At that time was on such terms with Admiral Codrington that I felt I might commence my letters " Dear Harry," and conclude "Yours affectionately." Mrs Codrington at that time fre quently desired me to write to the Admiral. I did so, My letters were generally upon domestic matters. J wrote the letter put into my hand, dated July 31, 1857. The passage stating that Admiral Codrington was never wanting in honour towards her, as the person, to whom the letter was addressed, had done in a most unwarrantable manner, wao perfectly true. I was never told that Mrs Codrington de sired to have separate rooms. My stay with the Admiral's family terminated in the year 1857, about the 9th of July. I had previously been pressed by the Admi ral to remain. I wrote to the Admiral on the 29th of the same month complaining of his treatment. [Some corres pondence ensued, a portion of which was read. It consisted of letters from the Admiral to his wife, telling her that Miss Faithful' must terminate her visit to them as speedily as possible.] I know Col. Ander son. I first saw him at my office, at which Mrs Codrington used to call. I first siw him in July, 1863. I think Mrs Codrington returned to England in Juno of that year. I afterwards met Colonel Anderson at the house of other friends, but Mrs Codrington was not present. I met Colonel Anderson in Edinburgh in the early part of October at an hotel. I believe Mrs Codring ton might have mentioned the subject that he was there, but I cannot recollect. I only saw him once in Scotland. I after wards meet him in London, He came to my house in Taviton-street. It was the last day in October. Mrs Codrington used to come very often to my house in - Taviton-street. Sho used to call when she went shopping. She did not occupy apartments in my house. By Mr Hawkins—l did not have to refer to my diary for the date I have fixed in October. By the Judge-Ordinary—Colonel Anderson called at my house on the Friday previous to the 31st of October. Mrs Codrington did not see him. She did not call on him the 2d of Nov. I had previously told Mrs Codrington that I could not receive her visits, but she came notwithstanding. She did not ask when she came on the 2d whether Colonel Anderson had called. She said she had called about some papers she had. I cannot say she came to my place ex pecting to see Colonel Anderson, I sent her a n )te telling her 1 wished to see her, and when she came I told her I had seen Colonel Anderson, and that I had written to say I could not receive him at my house. The separation of Admiral and Mrs Codrington was talked about because they did not agree. When I first made acquaint ance with Mrs Codrington she told me she was unhappy. She wished to embrace the Catholic religion. She did do so, and the disputes arose in consequence of her wishing to bring up the children in that belief. The Judge—You left England to avoid giving evidence, you say ? Witness—Yes. The Judge—Why did you do so ? Witness—Because I did not wish to be mixed up in this painful matter, if possible. The Queen's Advocate said Mr Pugh was in attendance, and if it was desired he would be examined as a witness. Mr Pugh was then sworn and answered several ques tions, but owing to the overcrowded state of the court they were perfectly inaudible. Lieutenant Galway, examined by the Queens Advocate —I am in the Royal Artillery. I was at Malta at the period referred to. I recollect the festival of Santa Martha. I received an invitation from Mrs Codrington to visit Valetta with her. I went and found Mrs Codrington, Mrs Adams, and Col. Anderson. Wo all went to the festival, and returned to Mrs Adams's house at about 11 o'clock. I afterwards went to the club. During the whole of the evening we were altogether. Mrs Codrington never left us for a moment, It was a fine moonlight n'ght. It was about a quarter past 11 when we left. The streets et Malta on the occasion was full of people. Large numbers were disembarking at the Calkalla gate. Cross-examined by Mr Bovill—Mrs Codrington, Mrs Adams, Colonel Anderson, and myself were the whole of our party. I left Colonel Anderson and Mrs Codrington at Mrs Adams'. They were knocking at the door, I sup. pose to go in. I did mit wait, but went in to my club. Mrs Mildmay—l have a son an officer in the Riflo Bri gade. He has gone to India. Mr Bovill—When did you receive the last letter from him Mrs Mildmay—About a month ago. An entry in the book kept at Malta harbour, and Jail monthly before the Admiral, was then read. It stated that Mrs Codrington and Colonel Anderson landed at 12.10 on the 3d of May, and that Colonel Anderson returned with the boat immediately after the lady stepped ashore. After some extracts from certain letters had been rend, The Queen's Advocate commenced his summing up of the the evidence for the respondent. He dwelt with much force on the evidence of Miss Fait hfall—he could hardly reconcile manyof her statements, and least of all could ho under stand her feelings when, after the Admiral had made an attack upon her virtue in his wife's bed, she should write to and address him as "Dear Harry," and conclude her letters "Yours affectionately." The conduct of Admiral Codrington, it must be admitted, in committing himself in the manner described, would naturally lead to the opinion that he at least was not entirely blameless, even at that particular period. Ho contended that no one act of adultery, alleged to have been committed at Malta, had been proved by a single witness whose character had not been greatly damaged ; and then with respect to the charge at the Grosvenor Hotel, who was there to prove it? No a single servant from that establishment or from Eceleston. square bad been placed in the box, and the charge therefore had resolved itself into mere vague assertion, which no man of the most limited intelligence would for one moment be. lievo. It was admitted that Mrs Codrington was a person given to indulgence in very inflated and extravagant lan guage, yet what had been the use made of that knowledge ? Why, to torture and to twist her language to the worst purposes, and that, too, by the worst means. Ho trusted they would by their verdict in some measure put an end to the cruel persecution to which she had been a victim. Mr Price summed up for Colonel Anderson. Ho said that Lieutenant Galway had entirely disposed of the evi dence of John Roe, and that in the most eatisfactory man- ner. Lieut. Galway had offered himself for cross-examina- tion, and yet his learned friend had not ventured to put a single question to him. Roe had sated that the gross act to which he had spoken was committed previens to the leaving of Ms Codrington for Valetta. Yet what did the evidence of Lieut. Galway prove? Why, that he was with her and her friends the whole of the even ing until 10 minutes past 12, and that Mrs Codrington never for one minute left their company until she arrived at Mrs Adams's. Which, he would ask the jury, would they believe—a man who, according to his own statement, hal some doubts about the matter,:or a gentleman of character and position, and one holding her Majesty's commission. Roe, they must bear in mind, was one of those witnesses examined abroad ; they had, there fore, no means of cross-examining him, or the probability was that ho might even have been compelled to have given 9. different complexion to his statement. However, he felt certain the jury would come to a right and just conclusion, and he left his case with the greatest confidence in their hands. Mr Bovill asked whether it would not be better to adjourn at that point of the proceedings, lie could not by any possibility •oonclude his reply on the whole case that day, The Judge Ordinary said the learned counsel had better begin at all events ; it was much to be desired that the Case should be concluded at the next sitting of the Court. I. Mr Bovill could give any idea of the length of time he was likely to occupy in his reply, it would be a matter of the greatest convenience. Mr Bovill said about two hours or two hours and a half. The Judge Ordinary, under the promise that Mr Bovill would not exceed the time he had mentioned in making his reply, then adjourned tho further healing of the case until Wednesday next. Throughout the day the court was crowded almost to suffocation. RIOTS AT DORCHESTER.—TII6 town of Dorches ter has been in a very disturbed state since the sth of November, when the mob attacked the police, and com pelled them to barricade themselves within the Town Hall. On the night of II ednesday week and on Tuesday night a crowd paraded the streets, bearing effigies of the police, making use of violent language, and even throwing stones at the officers. The borough magistrates have at length resolved on putting down this state of things, and it is in• tended to swear in a sufficient Lumber of special constables for the preservation of order in the town, POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. WESTMINSTER. A SHOCKING BRUTE.—Thomas Barry, a man of repul, sive appearance, was charged with the following disgraceful brutality : Police-constable Robert Mau, IE2 B, said that he was on duty at one o'clock this morning in Kcppel-street, Chelsea, when the complainant, accompanied by two liitle children, came to him and said that she had been much ill treated by her husband, and then turned into the street in the condition in which she appeared, that almost of perfect nudity. lie said he could not interfere, as she did not ex hibit any marks of the violence she had received. She asked him if he would be kind enough to come with her to her house to see whether she could get any clothing, and sho consented to accompany him to the door to see if he could be of any use, There they were met by the defend ant who, in the most filthy language, swore that if she or the policeman attempted to enter ho would split their heads open. The wife then went to the police station, where the inspector en duty advised her to go to the workhouse, but she returned, as it seemed, with a desire to get some clothing, to the neighbourhood of her own house, and was sitting on some steps opposite to it, when defendant came out of his house to her and again applied the most disgusting language to her, The wife called to complainant, entreating him to protect her from her husband, or he would kid her, Complainant immediately interfered, and ordered defendant to go away ; but he refuted, and complainant then took him into cus tody, when he tried to throw and bite him, and was so violent that he had to hold him down by the hair of the head. Mr Solfe—l see you have not charged him with the assault upon you. Is the defendant's wife hero to wake an y complaint against him ? Complainant—She said she would be, but she is not. Sho has been much exposed during the time she was in the streets with her children. She had but very little clothing on, and the children were quite naked, and one of them is bad with the whooping-cough. Defendant said he was drunk, a:d he did not remember what had takes place. Mr Selfe committed him for 11 days to hard labour in the House of Correction. THAMES. HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH V lOLENCE.—Francis Johns, a morose determined fellow, about 20 years of age, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with being concerned with two others not in custody is assaulting and robbing Mr Augustus Whiting, a gentleman, residing at 51, Hardt dinge-street, Radcliff, Mr Whiting stated that he was passing the station-house in Arbour-street, adjoining the Thames Police-court, and whistling as he went for want of thought, when a well dressed woman accosted him and said, you are very merry this evening. lie replied there was no reason why he should not be. She walked alongside of !Lim and asked him to treat her with a glass of stout. He said he did not mind doing that, and they went into the Star and Garter Tavern, in Arbour-square, and stopped there half an hour. The prisoner took his watch, Albert chain, and key, which he valued at £lO, and passed them to the woman. Mr Par tridge asked how that was done, to which the prosecutor answered that on leaving the Star and Garter the woman asked him to go home with her. He was asking her where she lived, was turning the south-west corner of Arbour square, near the offices of the East London Provident Asso ciation, when the prisoner and another man attacked him. him. The prisoner knocked him down on the broad of his back, and the other man kicked him. On recovering him( self hie watch and chain were gone, and he saw the prisoner pass both to the woman, and then ran away and cross the Commercial-road. He went after the prisoner, and the other man tried to stop him and put his foot out with the intention of throwing him. He avoided the fellow and con tinued to pursue the prisoner until he was stopped by a police-constable, The whole affair occurred last evening within 200 yards of the station and police-court, He was sober. Air Partridge said a daring highway robbery, attended with violence, had been committed, and it was very desir able the others concerned in the offence should be captured. He would give the police an opportunity of doing so by, emending the prisoner for a week. HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 17.

THE EARL OF DERBY.—The latest accounts from Knowsley state that his Lordship is considerably better. THE GALE. NEWQUAY, CORNWALL, Friday Night. I havo to report—writes Mr W. H. Tregidgo, chief officer of the Coast Guard—that the Newquay lifeboat of the National Institution was instrumental, this morning, during a terrific gale of wind, in rescuing the crew of six men of the Heroine, of Milford, which was driven on shore. It was a most gall,nt service. The lifeboat behaved very well on the occasion. The Cornish coast being exposed to the full sweep of the Atlantic ocean, a gale inshore is awful. NEWBIGGIN-BY-THE-SEA, Nov. 17. The New biggin lifeboat, belonging to the National In stitution, has been out to the assistance of several fishing cobles,las they were making their way in from their morn ing's work. There was a high wind blowin g at the time from S,E., and a very heavy sea on. The lifeboat was afloat altogether for nearly five hours, boing twice launched —the second time with oars double handed, having to pull nearly two miles to a coble in distress, which they suc. ceeded in reaching, and bringing back in tow sately to land. The boat was readily manned by as many hands as were required, and plenty of assistance in hauling her up and down. The lifeboat behaved admirably. CAMPIIELTON. N. 8., Nov, 17. During a heavy gale upon the south-east coast to-day, information was !nought to this place that a brig had gone down when off between Ackenhoad Head and Itlilldalleig, while making for this harbour. The crew of the lifeboat of the National Institution were at once mustered, and the boat despatched, in case any of the wrecked crew might be floating about on spars or otherwise, Unfortunately, how ever, after a diligent search, no trace of the brig or her crew could be found. It is not known where the brig was from or what number of men were on board. The sea was very heavy at the time, and the lifeboat was the only boat that could live in it. We have to announce the death of Lady Mary St. Lawrence, third daughter of the Earl of Howth, which took place at Torquay on Monday last, after a protracted illness. Lady Charlotte Fothriogham has arrived at Brown's Hotel. Adah Isaacs Menken, after her London engage ment is concluded, will go to Paris and play " Meseppa ' in the French language. DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS OF NORTHAMPTON. —We have to record the death of the Marchioness of Northampton, which took place last evening, at a quarter past 9 o'clock. at Northampton House, Piccadilly. The lamented lady had been in a hopeless condition for some days past. Her ladyship was the second daughter of Mr Henry and Lady Mary Vyner, and married the Marquis of Northampton in 1559. There is no issue by the marriage. The late marchioness was sister of the Countess do Grey and of Mr Vyner, M.P. GENERAL Tom THUMB.—We are informed that General Tom Thumb and his wife will remain in town for a few days longer, in order that they may visit the principal places of amusement and intereet. Yesterday, by invitation, they paid a visit to his Excellency the American Minister. We understand that the general and his wife, accompanied by Miss Minnie Warren, will be present at the pertormance of " Faust" at Her Majesty's Theatre, this evening. LOST IN THE BIISH.—A Melbourne letter of Sept. 23 says :—" Some weeks back, at the station of a Mr Dugald Smith, at Horsham, two boys and a girl, aged respectively the eldest boy 9, the girl 7, and the youngest boy 5, the children of a carpenter, named Duff, wandered by themselves into the bush and were lost. They had been sent out by their mother, as they had often gone out on the same errand before, to gather broom, and not retuning before dark the parents became alarmed, and a search was at once commenced. The father, assisted by friends and neighbours in large numbers, scoured the coun try in every direction for nights and days in vain. At length, in despair, the assistance of some aboriginal blacks was obtained, these people possessing an almost bloodhound instinct in following up the very faintest tracks, The blacks soon came upon the traces of the little wanderers, expatiat ing, as these trackers always do, at every bent twig or flit tared tuft of grass, on the apparent act ings of the objects of their search. ' Here, little one tired; sit down. Big one kneel down, carry him along, Here travel all night; dark; not see that bush ; her fall on him.' Further on, and more observations. Here little one tired again; big one kneel down; no able to rise, fall flat on his face,' The accu racy of these readings of the blacks was a`terwards curiously corroborated by the children themselves. On the eighth day after they wero lost, and long after the extinction of the faintest hope of their ever being again seen alive, the searching party came on them. They are described as having been found lying all of a row on a clump of broom among some trees, the youngest in the middle carefully wrapped in his sister's frock. They appeared to be in a deep and most unpleasant sleep. On being awoke, the eldest tried to sit up, but fell back. His face was so emaciated that his lips could not cover his teeth, and he could only just feebly groan 'Father.' The youngest, who had suffered least, woke up as from a dream, childlike demanding, ' Father, why didn't you come for us sooner ? We were cooeing for you.' The sister, who was almost quite gone, when lifted up could only murmur, ' Cold, cold.' No wonder, as the little creature had stripped herself of her frock, as the eldest said, to cover Frank, for he was crying with cold. The children have all since done well, and are rapidly recovering. They were without food, and by their own account had only one drink of water dur ing the whole time they were out, and this was from the Friday of one week until the Saturday of the next week, in all nine days and eight nights. The pathetic points about this little history are so obvioue that you will feel no sur prise in being told that it has produced a marvellous sensa tion throughout the colony. I only wish popular sympathy had easily at command some less coarse and more satisfac tory appreciation of little Jane Duff's conduct than collect.. ing money for her. This, however, is the form the popular demonstration has taken, and the Jane Duff fund' already , amounts to several hundreds." GALLANT CoNDUCT.—Gapt. Breach, commander of the Newhaven steamer Alexandra, performed a most praiseworthy action a few days ago. As his boat was leavir ieppe harbour a fishing-boat in full sail shot round th pier head while the sea was running very heavy. A collision followed, in which the master of the fishing boat got crushed between the gunwale of the boat and the steamer's sponsor, and as the boat sank the other three men aboard were thrown into the sea. Capt. Breach, the moment he saw the catastrophe, jumped off the bridge, and being a good swimmer was of great service in saving the lives of the men, who were ultimately picked up by a boat. A testimonial was got up by the passengers on board, and during the trip was presented to Capt. Breach. A hand some sum was also subscribed by the passengeri for the widow and children of the man who was crushed, and who died very soon afterwards.—Hastings and kit. Leonard's 11emos. FRENCH ARTILLERY.— Thz, litoniteur de la Flotte contains the following details as to the effects of the French artillery in forcing the Straits of Simonosaki, The French guns, it will be perceived, are described as vastly su perior to the Armstrong ordnance—" Our vessels, the Semi ramis, Duplex, and Tancrcde, greatly distinguished them selves The admiral's frigate crushed the enemy's batteries by her rapidity of fire, not less than 350 shots having been discharged within an hour. The English are in admiration at our artillery, v hich proved of great assistance to the ccr vettes stationed at a short distance from the forts. Tho re putation of the Armstrong guns is decidedly on the wane ; the officer who commanded the battery of the English ship Euryalas loudly complained of them. Whilst we were re moving the cannon from the forts the Japanese sharp shooters approached, and the four pounder swivel gun of the Semiramus opened on them. Admiral Kuper, Major Roy, of the English Engineers, and the Commander of the Conqueror, were amazed at the precision of the fire from this piece, whieh placed its shells as correctly as with the hand, at a distance of 3 ; 000 metres," Business dons VEGF.TABLES.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CRYSTAL PALACE. The directors of this company have resolved on recommending the proprietors to declare at the general meeting to be held on the 14th of Decem ber next a dividend of 2 per cent (2s. per share) on the ordinary stock for the year ending Octo ber 31. SOUTH ESSEX. It is proposed to coustruct a line of railway from the Great Eastern at Brentwood to South minster, a branch from Woodham Ferris to Hey• bridge, and another branch from Shenfield to Great Worley. Working and other arrangements are intended to be made with the Great Eastern Company. SOUTH DEVON. It appears that a memorial, signed by about one third of the shareholders of this company was laid before the directors on the 15th inst., requesting them to hold the next half-yearly meeting of the company at Exeter, instead of at Plymouth, was not agreed to, on the ground that it did not sufli. ciently represent the opinion of the pro• prietors to justify the Board in taking any imme diate active steps in the matter, but it was intimated that they might, before the half-yearly meeting in August, 1855, endeavour to ascertain the wishes of the other shareholders. As this would be the means of preventing a material object of the requi• sition, renewed exertions are being made by Mr IL S. Ellis, and other influential requisitionists, with a view to bring about a better system of management, and to improve the miserable dividends heretofore paid to the ordinary shareholders. MELBOURNE AND HOBSON'S BAY.; The traffic receipts on this company's li ne, six miles in length, amount e d f or the four weeks end ing on the 15th of Sept e mber last to £ 5 , 810 , and for the corresponding weeks of 1863 to £ 5,119 s h o wing an increase o f £691.

The following remarks on the money market are from Messrs J. Travers and Sons' weekly circular :--" Both in the discount market and the Stock Exchange the conviction was general on Thursday last that the Bank of England, at its weekly court, would reduce its rate of discount from 8 per cent. to 7 per cent. When the court broke up with out any alteration having been adopted, it was inferred that the official return to be published in the evening would ex plain the cause of the delay, by presenting figures less satis factory than had been anticipated. To the surprise of everyone it was found that they were unusually favours able, and that a further very large incr,ase had taken place, not only in the reserve of unemployed notes but in the stock of bullion. As there had been, at the same time, a number of considerable arrivals of gold from America, amply sufficient to meet any probable demand for the Con tinent, and the Bank of France, during the past week, has experienced a further recovery ci more than £300,000 in its stock of bullion, the delay appears especially unaccount able. The only means the public can at any time have of estimating the probable course of the Bank, is by looking at its action on previous similar occosions. We therefore sub join a statement of the position of the accounts at the pre sent moment, compared with their position at the nearest corresponding date during the five preceding years. From this it will be seen that last year, when the reserve and bullion were both very much lower, the charge for disoount was only 6 per cent., that in 1861, when the bullion was only £610,140 more than at present, and the reserve was actually V 1,63) less, the rate was down at 3 per cent., and fleshy that, in 186), when bullion and reserve were far below their present amount, the rate was down at 5 per cant. : -- Date.

A melancholy accidentTattendtd with suspiciors circumstances, took place on Monday night, at nine o'clock, a little to the east of Cupar, en the Edine burgh, Perth, and Dundee branch of the North British ltiilway. A young woman named Janet Lamb, belonging to Cupar, who, we understand, had been in service in Edinburgh, was coming home by the last train on Monday night, and had with tier a female companion named M'Laren, who wee to stay with her a few days. The only other person in the carriage with them was a young man, who, it is said, was the worse of drink. Oa arriving at Cupar station, Lamb and the girl M'Laren seem to have sat still, and instead of coming out, as they intended, they went cn as if going to the next stile tion. They had not gone far, however, when, from some cause or other not yet satisfactorily cleared up, they opened the door of the carriage and madly rushed'out while the train was running at full speee. The girl M'Laren jumped out first almost opposite the farm of Thomaston, and was sent spinning down the embankment of the railway, but happily she escaped unhurt. Lamb followed immediately after her, lighting with her face upon the iron mile post, which knccked out some of her teeth, broke her jaw, and otherwise so severely in.. jared her that death was instantaneous. 1111eren on seeing the sad fate of her friend screamed for assistance. Her cries were heard, and Dr. Mackie was called, He pronounced life to be quite extinct, and the body was removed to the police cffice, whence it was taken last night to an aunt's hcuse in the Kirkgate, the only relation Lamb had in the town, and is to be buried today. One ex. planation of the accident is that as the last train does not atop at Springfield, Lamb had mis. taken Cupar station for it, and that after passing the latter she recognised that it was Cupar by the lights, and resolved—she and her companion together—to jump out. The girl M‘Laren adds that the had gone out, and th a t th e man who w carriage a s - traveller, and who is stated to their -lamp fel fellow-traveller, o w have been the worse for drink, was molesting them in some way—leaving the inference to be drawn that they both rushed out of the carriage to prevent him taking liberties with them. After receiving her ace( count of how the affair happened, Chief Constable Brammer immediately despatched two officers in search of the man. They it. quired at Leucbars, which is the next station where the train stopped ; but neither had information been lodged there of the girls having jumped out of the carriage nor had anyone been seen answering the description which the girl MlLeren gave of her and her friend's assailant. The officers, however, nnrsned their in vestigations during the whole night, end about six o'clock next morning discovered their man wander. ing on the streets of St. Andrews. They charged him with the assault and brought him in to Cupar, where after being examined before the Sheriff, ho was committed to prison for further inquiry. From statements since made by the girl ,'Laren on Tuesday nig ht, there can be only one opinion, that f the ma n n with the good intention of preventing them from hold of the girls at all, it was only i laid rushing into almost certain death.—Scotsman.
